Re: Receiving an email attachment

I ran the code that you posted but I can only get it to take a mime message and write a txt file with the same exact content. What am I doing wrong. I am pasting the test message below that I am passing it. It has text, html, and an attachment sent from netscape messenger. The function isn't recursing. $entity->parts always equals 0 Thanks for your help.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

--------------12FC523FDAD8D46FC3E99678
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

this is a test of the attachment functionality.

You have to provide the entire message, including ALL the headers, not just the message body. MIME::Parser needs all of it. I got burned on this very badly myself the first time I tried to use MIME::Parser.	[reply]
